May 24, 2021 · 4-stroke engine 'hunting'. My son has a 4-stroke self propelled ‘Challenge’ mower;...the engine always starts first time but it ‘hunts’ continuously (and annoyingly) when in use. I've checked the usual suspects, ...air filter...spark plug/cabling...fuel etc, but nothing obvious.

Please make sure that you are using unleaded fuel that is no older than 30 days.If the fuel you are using is older than 30 days, please remove and replace the old fuel.First, please remove the air filter from the lawnmower.To remove the air filter, unclip the filter cover on the side of your engine.Some models may use a securing screw which can be removed by hand or using a screwdriver.You may then remove the existing fuel by unscrewing the fuel cap, tipping the lawnmower onto its side and emptying the fuel into a container.Please identify whether you have a sponge or paper air filter.To access the air filter, please unclip the filter cover on the side of the engine.Some models may use a securing screw which can be removed by hand or using a screwdriver.A clean sponge air filter would be either grey or yellow.If you have a sponge air filter which is dirty, you may clean the air filter using warm soapy water.Please ensure you leave the filter to fully air dry before reinstalling.A clean cartridge air filter would be white in colour.If you have a paper air filter, it is not possible to clean the air filter.If the air filter is dirty or damaged then you will need to purchase another filter.It is most likely that thejets are blocked inside your carburettor(the part which regulates the fuel into the combustion chamber).You can either try cleaning it yourself (purchase a 'carburettor cleaning kit'), or taking it to a local garden machinery centre for a service.So if suddenly you find yourself with hole in your crank case, a broken conrod and a warped piston, but otherwise the engine looks fine, don’t believe everyone that the engine is scrap metal. You just might be able to fix it yourself!
